The stated thickness of over 3 metres is very misleading. The hole drilling logs are included in the report on the drilling by K L Burns "Coal Exploration - Mt Lloyd" (1959) and it is clear that several widely separated thin seams (the best is a little over 1m thick) have been aggregated to give a single misleading thickness of 3m. THERE IS NO SINGLE COAL SEAM THAT IS 3 METRES THICK WHICH WOULD BE AN INTERESTING THICKNESS IF IT HAD IN FACT BEEN INTERSECTED IN THE DRILL HOLES.
